CAPUCINE MAJOR DWARF AB
Tropaeolum majus
Nasturtium Major leaves are eaten mixed with salads, and the flowers are used as decorations for dishes and raw vegetables. The flower buds are rich in vitamin C and natural sulfur. Pickled in vinegar, they are used as a seasoning like capers. Nasturtium Major produces beautiful, colorful masses of vegetation that easily cover hidden corners in the garden. They attract aphids and therefore serve as a "trap plant." Nasturtium Major is a dwarf variety with abundant flowers that appear in June. Sowing: in March-April, 3 to 5 seeds per pot under warm cover at a depth of 2 cm. Plant in May. Sowing: from April to June (risk of frost removed) in open ground in pockets of 4-5 seeds with 30 cm spacing. Sunny exposure. Flowering: from May to October.
